A Rock and a Hard Place begins with treasure-hunter Nathan "Nate" Drake finding himself in the middle of the train wreck, dangling perilously over the edge of a large mountain. Nate must make his off the hanging train and onto the safety of solid ground, before dispatching one of Serbian war criminal Zoran Lazarević's soldiers. Flashbacks throughout the chapter reveal how fellow treasure-hunters and explorers Harry Flynn and Chloe Frazer approached Nate some time earlier with a plan to infiltrate a Turkish museum and steal an ancient relic that may hold the secret to Marco Polo's Lost Fleet.

The Tibetan Snuff Bottle is found on a corpse above the player after they have shot and broken the lock on the train car.[1]

After the player has killed their first enemy, they must climb up a series of boxes. After climbing these boxes, the player jumps from one train car to another. The Bhutanese Lime Box can be found in the snow if the player drops off this second train car and climbs over a box. [1]

At one point in the chapter, the player has to shimmy along a yellow pipe and climb into a train car. If the player turns around after climbing into the car, they will find the Ghau Amulet Thogchag.[1]
